    PAGER 2.0: an update to the pathway, annotated-list and gene-signature electronic repository for Human Network Biology
    (Oxford Academic, 2018-01-04) Yue, Zongliang; Zheng, Qi; Neylon, Michael T.; Yoo, Minjae; Shin, Jimin; Zhao, Zhiying; Tan, Aik Choon; Chen, Jake Yue; BioHealth Informatics, School of Informatics and Computing
    Integrative Gene-set, Network and Pathway Analysis (GNPA) is a powerful data analysis approach developed to help interpret high-throughput omics data. In PAGER 1.0, we demonstrated that researchers can gain unbiased and reproducible biological insights with the introduction of PAGs (Pathways, Annotated-lists and Gene-signatures) as the basic data representation elements. In PAGER 2.0, we improve the utility of integrative GNPA by significantly expanding the coverage of PAGs and PAG-to-PAG relationships in the database, defining a new metric to quantify PAG data qualities, and developing new software features to simplify online integrative GNPA. Specifically, we included 84 282 PAGs spanning 24 different data sources that cover human diseases, published gene-expression signatures, drug-gene, miRNA-gene interactions, pathways and tissue-specific gene expressions. We introduced a new normalized Cohesion Coefficient (nCoCo) score to assess the biological relevance of genes inside a PAG, and RP-score to rank genes and assign gene-specific weights inside a PAG. The companion web interface contains numerous features to help users query and navigate the database content. The database content can be freely downloaded and is compatible with third-party Gene Set Enrichment Analysis tools. We expect PAGER 2.0 to become a major resource in integrative GNPA. PAGER 2.0 is available at http://discovery.informatics.uab.edu/PAGER/.

    Query Segmentation For E-Commerce Sites
    (2013-07-12) Gong, Xiaojing; Al Hasan, Mohammad; Fang, Shiaofen; Raje, Rajeev
    Query segmentation module is an integral part of Natural Language Processing which analyzes users' query and divides them into separate phrases. Published works on the query segmentation focus on the web search using Google n-gram frequencies corpus or text retrieval from relational databases. However, this module is also useful in the domain of E-Commerce for product search. In this thesis, we will discuss query segmentation in the context of the E-Commerce area. We propose a hybrid unsupervised segmentation methodology which is based on prefix tree, mutual information and relative frequency count to compute the score of query pairs and involve Wikipedia for new words recognition. Furthermore, we use two unique E-Commerce evaluation methods to quantify the accuracy of our query segmentation method.
